Local residents disturbed

Bodkin Road is a gravel road that divides the Oneida First Nation from the county.

Kylie George lives about a kilometre from the crime scene in a home with her young daughter. She said she recognizes most vehicles that drive past her home and did not see anything out of the ordinary on Sunday.

"It's creepy that something happened so close," George said. "There's nothing really down that way. Just some fields and trails."

She now says she'll be extra vigilant about watching vehicles in the area.

Previous remains discovered

The remains of a Brantford, Ont. man were found in a southern location on Oneida Nations of the Thames territory last year.

Douglas Hill, 48, was last seen on Six Nations of the Grand River territory Jun., 2017. His body was discovered in Oneida in Aug., 2017.
